Description
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol is a fragrance ingredient that introduces rich amber and powdery notes to perfume compositions. It serves as an excellent choice for adding nuance to warm spices and woody notes, while bringing warmth to floral fragrances such as carnation, jasmine, narcissus, and lilac. It can be extracted from various natural sources, including Siam Benzoin resinoid, Peru Balsam resinoid, and Ceylon cinnamon essential oil. Compared to Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, it features more honeyed, warm, and cinnamic notes, offering greater depth and complexity to fragrance compositions.

Additional information
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol is chemically linked to the scent of cinnamon and occurs naturally in various balsams and resins, which explains its warm, sweet notes.
In traditional Middle Eastern perfumery, this ingredient has been used for centuries to create rich, oriental fragrances with depth and longevity.
Perfumers often use Phenyl Propyl Alcohol as a bridge between different fragrance families in their compositions, as it can harmoniously connect floral notes with heavier, balsamic bases.
